Down the cliff side ~ Part 2
::Damn those mountains!::
By SW
A heavily burdened figure made their way down the inclined slope. Goku clung to the wall, careful not to drop Sanzo who he had draped over his back. The monk was still out cold, he gnawed on his lower lip anxiously. After climbing down a good 40 ft his arms were about to fall off. Concentrating on where he was going to place his foot next, he almost lost his hold on Sanzo. Who had begun to slip, his eyes watered as he felt the monk slid on his painfully raw back. Pausing long enough to adjust his dead weight, he made it down the rock face.
As soon as he felt his feet touching solid ground, he set his friend down. He could have cried out of happiness just then. Moving Sanzo to a shaded spot along the cliff side, he began looking around for signs of his friends.
Violet eyes opened slowly, the owner of them pulled himself into a sitting position. Grimacing as his head throbbed in the most painful way. "What the fuck happened?...."He growled rubbing his temples, recalling what he could. Abruptly leaping to his feet, one very important question forming. "Where's that dumbass monkey?!!" Stepping forward, mind numbing pain shot up his leg. Cursing violently he sat back down. Checking his leg, the problem was found. His ankle was two times its normal size. "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!!!!!" Snarling in disgust, eyeing the edge of the road. What if Goku fell over the side? Wait why was he worried about the monkey? Dismissing the second thought he started yelling the boys name in hope of a response. "GOKU!!!!!!! ANSWER DAMN IT!!!!!"
After an hour of sitting there unable to move far on one leg, Sanzo was in a very bad mood. And all sorts of unpleasant thoughts had been running through his head. Images of the monkey dead at the bottom of the mountain in particular. He's eyes widened in shock as the kid in question walked down the path toward him. "GOKU?!" The boy beamed at him and ran down to him. "Sanzo! Your awake!" As soon as he got with in arms length the monk grabbed him and shook him by his shoulders. "Where the hell were you?! Do you have any idea how wor- er...Pissed off I am!!!!" The spiky haired youth just smiled. "You must be ok if you're yelling at me!" The monk gave him the patent Heero/Aya/Sanzo death glare. "Come on! Hakkai and Gojyo must be at the bottom of the mountain! I checked farther up the path and they weren't there." Goku waited for Sanzo to get up and follow him. Looking confused as the monk sat there not moving. "Aren't you coming?" The blonde averted his gaze, "Yeah in a minute." The boy frowned. "Are you hurt?" More glares. "Shut up! I don't need help! I just hurt my ankle." Goku held out his hand. "You can use me as a crutch." Sanzo smacked the offending hand away. "Sanzo stop being so damn stubborn! Swallow your stupid pride and let's go!" Goku swung the monks arm over his shoulder and pulled him upright, ignoring the pain. Sanzo gave him a surprised look, as the boy determinedly began walking. Sighing he leaned on Goku and began to limp along side him.
Both sank against the side of the cliff, barley having the energy to lift their heads. Goku leaned his head against Sanzo's shoulder. "I dun think we'll make it down there tonight." He mumbled sleepily. Sanzo stared at the evening skyline, glancing down at the brown-topped head that was resting on his arm. "Get some sleep, I'll take the first watch." His head tipped back, and gold eyes peered up at him. "I can handle it San-zou." He could have laughed at the site of Goku trying to stay awake. "Sleep already!" He snapped. "K..." With in a minute he was sound asleep. Sanzo draped an arm around Goku's shoulder, letting out another sigh. "Baka...." He muttered.
